Weight Loss Myths in Yorkville, IL

Our chiropractors at Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, strive to educate you on weight loss facts. This includes debunking myths such as:

1. Do Not Eat After Six- Weight loss is a reduction in your intake of calories or an increase in your use of calories. The timing of when you eat does not affect your weight as much as the amount of calories you consume. If you have not reached your desired calorie intake for the day, you can eat a late dinner, or a healthy snack before bed without ruining your weight loss efforts.

2. Sit-Ups Burn Belly Fat- Sit-ups are a resistance training exercise that tone your muscles. You cannot spot reduce and burn fat from your belly by doing sit-ups. Fat is burned through cardiovascular exercises that are continuous and last for at least 10 minutes at a time.

3. Avoiding Carbs Will Help Lose Weight- Carbohydrates are what provide instant energy to your cells. Your body needs a balance of all foods in moderation to sustain itself and give you energy.

4. Cardiovascular Exercise is The Only Answer- While cardiovascular exercise is an important part of a weight loss program, you should also include strength-training exercise to help boost your metabolism and increase your strength.

5. All Fat is Bad- Your body needs a certain amount of fats to support healthy organ functions. Choose monounsaturated fats such as olive oil to reduce your risk of heart attacks and keep you feeling satiated.
